Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons mocked his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, and condemned owner Jerry Jones in a series of social media posts Thursday.
Parsons shared a report on a recent quote by Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, who suggested the team’s defensive decline in 2025 was due to Parsons’ departure from the team via preseason trade.
“Obviously you have an All-Pro pass rusher who gains real quick [Parsons] that will definitely help any defense if it’s Micah or if it’s Myles [Garrett] or whoever it may be. But that impact player is always going to help to some extent on pass downs and other downs,” Eberflus said Thursday.
“Again, you can’t look back, right? It is what it is, and then you just focus where you are.”

Parsons shared the post on X with a string of laughing emojis.
Parsons later followed up with another X post, specifically targeting Jones, claiming that Jones “slandered” him.
“Y’all want me to feel bad? Jerry Jones slandered my name to the Cowboys media and the national media for months. So I guess I can respond to a comment if I want to!” wrote Parsons.
Prior to the Cowboys’ trade of Parsons to the Packers in August, the star linebacker issued a public statement announcing that he had requested a trade, saying he “no longer” wanted to be in Dallas, largely because of Jones.
“I no longer want to hold closed-door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want to have a shot at getting hurt while putting it on the line for the organization, our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives to be created and spread to the media about me. I had intentionally stayed quiet in hopes of getting something done,” Parsons wrote at the time.
In July, Jones made comments about Parsons’ durability after the linebacker was injured in 2024.

“He was hurt six games last year, seriously,” Jones said. “I remember I got a player for the highest paid position in the league and he got knocked out two-thirds of the year in Dak Prescott. So there [are] a lot of things you can think about, just like the player does, when you think about committing and guaranteeing money.”
Jones later claimed in an appearance on the Cowboys legend The Michael Irvin Show in August that he felt the organization had reached a deal with the two-time All-Pro defensive end before Parsons’ agent put an end to it.
“When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to put it up in our a–,” Jones claimed.
“Micah and I talked, and then we had to send it over to the agent. We had our agreements about the term, the amount, the guarantees – everything. We wanted to send it over to the agent, and the agent said, ‘Don’t bother, because we have everything to negotiate.’ Well, I had already negotiated that. I had already made my mark in several areas.”
Jones added that “we’ve had the negotiations in my mind.”
“The agent is trying to get his nose in it right now and try to get in there and improve the brand, as we had already said,” Jones said.
“That would have made him the highest-paid guaranteed player, other than a quarterback, in NFL.

“The world would know I want Micah if they knew what I had offered him. And he knows what I offered him. So the world would know I want Micah to play on the team and that I respect him for what he can bring to the team.”
The Cowboys missed the playoffs this year, playing for the 30th consecutive year without reaching the Super Bowl. Their struggles were largely due to their defensive shortcomings.
Meanwhile, Parsons suffered a season-ending injury.
